pissed. the amazing race 14 episode 10 has not been uploaded on youtube yet. sucks. i rushed home just to look forward to watching it hot off the oven and i realised it wasn't uploaded yet :( sucker. i've been trying to persuade my mum to get cable tv but it's useless. it's a battle that will never be won because she's the one who pays. :( damn. 

anyway i was reading the papers about the 'elite' label that comes along with what school you're from and what not. well my dear PRAGMATIC Singaporeans, i'm afraid that no matter what NE teaches you about meritocracy and what not i think life doesn't work that way. the rodent race is UNFAIR. life is UNFAIR. if you have an edge over somebody else then people will use it. well, it's like people just label you according to what secondary school/ JC you're from. i mean look at it from another perspective, if you ask somebody where he's from and he says Raffles Institution, you'll be damned like 'wow' even if he was like the last in his cohort, always failing his subjects all the way. then if somebody says he's from 'greengrove secondary school' (i don't think such a school exists but you get the drift) even if he's the top in his level and get 10 O level distinctions you'll be like 'oh, ok... interesting school'. people label you and that's something you've got to live with. especially in a society like Singapore. where status and fame is all that matters.
